The problem area of the history of parts of speech is rather complex. The range of topics belonging here does not only include changes of part-of-speech affiliation (conversion, zero derivation, transmutation) but also a number of other issues like various ways of word formation by which certain word classes become larger, their stock increases by lexicalisation or like the problem of what syntactic reasons or circumstances, formal or functional aspects of the system play a role in the creation of new lexical items. In addition to individual words (the issues of word formation and conversion), the changes of word classes as wholes (for instance, cases where a new part of speech emerges, becomes part of the system, like conjunctions or articles) have to be investigated, as well as the consequent modifications of the whole part-of-speech system.

The structure and the construction of the bilingual mental lexicon are here the focus of attention. The paper explores the issue of whether the bilingual mental lexicon works in the same way as the monolingual lexicon, whether there are differences between the storage systems of the two sets of lexemes. Based on a Hungarian word association test carried out among 90 bilinguals, of whom 50 are early bilinguals and 40 late bilinguals, the main goal of the present paper is to find some evidence concerning the storage hypothesis. Bilinguals have turned out to have one common semantic representation but two sets of words that are stored in one common lexicon. There are significant differences in the construction of the mental lexicon according to the age of becoming bilingual. Early bilinguals are more likely to store the information in a paradigmatic way whereas late bilinguals tend to store more syntagmatic relations. Particular emphasis is put on the question of how the word classes of the stimulus words control those of the responses, i.e. whether the word class has a determining role in the storage of lexemes. By and large all the word classes tend to preserve their word classes in the responses, but the nouns have proved to be the ones that are most likely to show paradigmatic links. The largest number of syntagmatic links was shown in verbs. Word class bound responses were in even larger numbers if the bilinguals gave the answers in their other language.

In the 1950s and 1960s Slovak linguistics saw fruitful discussions concerning the issues of word classes, especially of function words (particles, modal words, predicative or the category of state). Professional discussions that very often turned into a controversy helped to prepare good foundations and starting point for modern Slovak linguistics on which were based fundamental works such as Morfologia slovenskeho jazyka - unsurpassed until today - and Slovnik slovenskeho jazyka (1959 - 1968) in the compilation of which Eugen Jona made use of his experience as well. His vast array of professional and scientific knowledge and interests (dialectology, history, language culture, grammar, lexicology and lexicography) ranks him among versatile Slovak linguists of the 20th century. He has substantially contributed to the definition of particles as a separate word class and stabilizing word-class system of the Slovak language.

The paper surveys the role and localisation of words and word classes in earlier and more recent descriptive and historical grammars of various languages. Where and how word classes are discussed in the individual grammars reflects, of course, their role in sentence or text formation.The paper also investigates the background of the issue of word classes being discussed within morphology, or as a chapter of syntax, discusses cases where there is no separate chapter on (the history of) parts of speech in a given grammar, but rather these issues occur scattered in various places, and finally: the advantages of a unified and concentrated discussion of word classes as a separate chapter of grammar.

The study traces the development of morphological thinking about the Slovak language during the 90-year existence of the Slovenská reč journal. Morphology has been at the forefront of attention throughout the period, with the focus consistently on nouns and verbs. In the early years, contributions focused on normative morphology and the preservation of the purity of Slovak predominated along with the genre of diversity. The development of modern morphology begins with an orientation towards the description and classification of word classes and form-formation processes. A landmark was the publication of Morfológia slovenského jazyka (Morphology of the Slovak Language, 1966) with a system-structural description of the Slovak morphological system. By the end of the 1980s, interest in semantic-functional morphology intensified. The predominant genre is discussion. Since the 1990s, the methodological spectrum has been broadening. The sociolinguistic view of morphological variants, corpus morphology, morpho-pragmatics as well as the explanation of the dynamics of morphology and the morphological disposition of human beings are being promoted.
